I am about to travel. How do I manage my Ubigi eSIM profile on my device ?
If you have purchased a pre-loaded eSIM profile on the website: we advise you to install it the day before or a few hours before your departure when you still have a valid Internet connection (eg: Wifi, connectivity of your local SIM card) in order to to be able to download your eSIM profile. This will also allow you to optimize the validity period of your data plan since it starts when you scan with your device the QR code received by email.
If you already have a Ubigi eSIM profile installed on your device, in this case at your convenience you can : – Recharge the day before or a few hours before your departure to ensure you have an Internet connection available immediately upon arrival at your destination – Or recharge once at your destination using the connectivity of your Ubigi eSIM (even without a valid data plan). The validity of your data plan starts upon validation of your recharge.
If you are traveling by plane, we advise you to do the following two steps just before activating airplane mode on your device: 1/ activate your Ubigi eSIM profile (on iPhone – on Android) 2/ apply the data to your eSIM profile (on iPhone – on Android) Finally, enable airplane mode. Once you arrive at your destination, Ubigi connectivity will then be available immediately as soon as you have deactivated airplane mode (and this will also prevent you from incurring roaming charges with your other possible physical SIM card).
When crossing a border to arrive in your destination country: we advise you to also do the two steps described above in order to access Ubigi connectivity easily and quickly.

It’s easy to use
It’s easy to use, one app can apply to different countries each time. It’s a great experience. Connecting is quite good.

So glad this was available for us!
We went to Canada for vacation and realized that Straight Talk our US cell phone provider is only US. A quick google search gave us options for a data plan. We purchased a seven day data plan and it was easy to do, download the app and activate. It was very helpful! It didn’t cover all of the areas we went since we were in Banff, Jasper, Yoho…National Parks, but we are so glad we had it.

Service was fast and reliable throughout our trip.
Only glitch was the fact that it was not clearly explained in the documentation that you can only have one data plan per account per device. This led to all sorts of confusion where I tried to sign up a data plan for two devices on the same account.
This was compounded by the fact that Support said this was possible but Customer Service said it was not. Furthermore, it was not clear how to reach Support or Customer service; there was just one form to fill out, and it was not really clear who was answering.

I used Ubigi for my 13 day stay in Kyoto and Tokyo. I had 5g coverage in most areas but there was a 2-3 second delay before downloads happened. Very useful for directions and downloading web pages. I thought 10gb would be more than enough for 13 days with heavy usage. I didn’t even get to 3gb.

Japan coverage
Great coverage and efficient plan. I chose the 10GB and it was just enough for my 9-days-stay in Japan.

Great value for the money
Great value for the money! I used the 25GB plan during my 15-day trip to Japan, and it worked perfectly everywhere, even in the countryside.

Great product
We used Ubigi for a trip to Europe. Having the eSIM allowed us to keep in contact with each other and home while we were away. Lots of data for a reasonable price.

🙏🏻💗✨🙌🏻
On the advice of a friend from Amsterdam, I used an app and a card. Unfortunately, I couldn't pay with Russian cards, and my friend helped me again. The connection in Istanbul and the Princes' Islands was always fast and perfect. Thank you!!!!

How to check if a device is ready for eSIM?
Check eSIM compatibility
Smartphones & Cellular Tablets:
Dial (*#06#). If an EID number shows, your device supports eSIM!
Laptops (Windows 10/11):
Open your flyout (bottom-right corner). If Cellular settings are visible, your laptop supports eSIM!
Check Carrier Unlock
On iOS:
Go to Settings > General > About, scroll to Carrier Lock. If it says "No SIM restrictions", your device is unlocked!
On Android:
Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile Network, turn off Auto network selection. If you see multiple available networks, your device is unlocked! If only one appears, or you get an error, it may be locked.
You already have an eSIM in your cart.
Each order can only include one eSIM data plan.
Current plan: •
If you choose to add a new one, the current plan will be removed. What would you like to do?
